Research abstract
THE RESEARCH IS DEVELOPING A MANUALLY CONTROLLED DIGITAL OPEN LOOP SERVO-VALVE ACTUATOR. THE VALVE IS DIGITAL AND THE VALVE CONTROLLER IS A DIGITAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE. THE NEW DIGITAL SERVO-VALVE ACTUATOR SYSTEM INCORPORATES MANY NEW AND UNIQUE FEATURES AS COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL ANALOG TYPE SERVO-VALVE DESIGNS. ONCE COMPLETED, THE OPEN AND CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM WILL CONTAIN FEATURES THAT WILL MAKE THE SYSTEM WIDELY APPLICABLE IN MANY INDUSTRIES. THESE INDUSTRIES WOULD INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, SPACE, ROBOTICS, AUTOMATED MANUFACTURING, HEAVY EQUIPMENT, AIRCRAFT FLIGHT CONTROLS, AND POWER GENERATION.
